Stories

I Accuse... · 17 pages
The two teams race to uncover Mr. Terrific's murderer, the Spirit King, before another hero falls. Both Zatanna and Huntress are injured before the heroes determine that the villain, having a long-standing grudge against him as well, has possessed the JSA's Flash. But before he can be apprehended, the Spirit King returns to Earth-2, leaving the JSA vowing to follow him and bring him to justice.
